Mathematicians are everywhere and nowhere: although they play key roles in industry and research, business and science, the people who use the ideas and tools of the mathematics are often invisible and difficult to identify. This leads to a lack of clarity for students who are studying the mathematical sciences in their transition to professional life. Becoming a Mathematician considers the process of developing a mathematical identity and becoming a mathematician from the point of view of the participants in the process - students and recent graduates. It focuses on the people who do mathematics rather than on the topics of mathematics. It investigates the development of mathematical scientists for a variety of workplaces, and incorporates the experiences of those who were unsuccessful as well as those who were successful in the transition to the profession. The research presented is based on interviews, observations and surveys of students and graduates as they develop their identity as mathematicians, carried out over a decade in Australia and a diverse range of countries.
Peter Petocz is Associate Professor in the Department of Statistics at Macquarie University, Sydney. As well as working as a professional applied statistician, he has a long-standing interest in mathematics and statistics pedagogy, both in practical terms and as a research field. He is the author of a range of learning materials, textbooks, video packages and computer-based materials. Peter has been undertaking research in a range of disciplines including statistics and mathematics, investigating students' and teachers' conceptions of their discipline and learning, the development of professional dispositions such as sustainability and ethics, and the move from tertiary study to the professional world. His expertise in qualitative research approaches combines fruitfully with qualitative approaches for exploring learning and teaching in higher education.
